(DNAINFO) Ewa Kern-Jedrychowska | May 3, 2017 — Wearing just a hint of eye makeup and a modest necklace on top of a simple white T-shirt, Freddie Cosmo took to the stage last Wednesday at famed gay bar Stonewall Inn for several songs during a show for charity.

His friend and the club’s flamboyant entertainer, Susan “Lavinia Draper” Campanaro, who ran the show, introduced him to the audience.

“He still has problem finding housing, still has problem getting a really decent job, but still fights every day to be who he is,” she said.

Not coincidentally, one of the songs Cosmo chose to perform was Crystal Waters’ “Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless).”

Cosmo, 30, whose real name is Lester Hussie, calls Stonewall his second home — but he doesn’t have an actual home.
