“I’m in it for life”: How Entity Gay Shaped My Relationship With Chelsea
“Dad,” I asked again. “Did you catch me?” It was 2004. My first year as a ‘real’ Chelsea fan, who was allowed to stay up past his bedtime to watch the Champions League, wear his replica shirt to bed, and name the family goldfish, ‘Zola’.
Stamford Bridge seemed like the most exciting place in the earth. In the first weeks of the season, I’d seen grown men cuddle and kiss, been twirled around in the air by complete strangers, and learned naughty modern words and phrases like “wanker” and “fucking-bald-tosspot-REF”. But I’d never heard the words “rent boy” before.
The chant started a couple of moments after Southampton’s forward volleyed the ball into the roof of our net; first as a smattering of jeers from the away end, then as a wall of noise – like the roar of a crashing tidal wave. “Chelsea-rent-boys! Chelsea-rent-boys!”
I didn’t perceive what the chant meant, but even then, I could tell it had a strange influence because the sixteen stone bloke, who sat in front of us, was looking at the floor and grinning. The chant was an accusation, and it was directed at us. “Chelsea-rent-boys! Chelsea-rent-boys!”

News broke out on Thursday that The Rocking Horse Café, a gay institution in the heart of Chelsea, has closed its doors after 30 years of business. This was an “out of the blue” kind of ordeal, in that many of my friends just ate there a couple of days ago and now all that’s left is a sad sign on the door thanking its customers for the many years of service and great memories.
It’s one of many several hotspots in Chelsea that have closed down over the past decade, leaving this author to wonder if the area that we helped make fabulous and unreal is now going the way of the dodo bird… meaning extinct.
The landscape of gay NYC has radically changed for plenty of years now, matchmaking app back to a period when I wasn’t even legal to buy a cigarette. Gone are the days where we hold tons of bars to head to, venues to party at and coffee shops and restaurants to eat in and like each other’s company. Chelsea is a prime example of that, where 8th avenue has now change into riddled with stroller moms, annoying college students and an influx of heterosexuality which overall has made this area super unappealing.
