"I came out as a Republican on FOX & Friends, ever since then, you know, it’s been a little dicey at home," the 67-year-old restaurateur admitted in his recent appearance on Cavuto: Coast to Coast. However, he remains optimistic, saying, "We'll get past it."

Germanotta clarified that while he holds conservative views, he supports the LGBTQ community and believes in the value of drag as an art form. "What really needs to happen is, people need to understand that even though I’m a Republican and I have Republican conservative attitudes, that doesn’t mean I don’t support the LGBTQ community, or drag as a form of artistry. And that’s why we use the restaurant as a venue for them to come in, the drag artists and perform once a week," he said.

The passionate political views on Lady Gaga's side fueled the feud between her and her father, showing how creating a quarrel over politics becomes quite hard at times.
