Chelsea welcomes CPS decision on homophobic slur

17 Jan 2022


Chelsea Football Club welcomes the news that the Crown Prosecution Service
(CPS) recognises that the term 'rent boy' is a homophobic slur, and that
those who use it are liable to prosecution.

We will continue to work with our supporters and our LGBTQ+ fan group
Chelsea Pride to ensure that our club is welcoming and inclusive for all,
and we will not hesitate to take action against anyone who persists in
using this or any other discriminatory language, including working with
the police and CPS to secure prosecutions.


Tracy Brown, co-chair of Chelsea Pride said: 'It's really positive to see
the CPS make a clear statement on their position on the term 'rent boy'. I
am thankful to Proud Lilywhites and Chris Paouros for joining with myself
and Chelsea Pride as we worked with other fans and supporters to collect a
number of victim impact statements detailing how hearing this chant
negatively impacts the experience of football. It was also positive to be
able to work alongside The FA who were supportive and helped us to share
these experiences with the UK Football Policing Unit and the CPS.


'At Chelsea Pride we will continue to work closely with our club and we
will continue to play our part in the No To Hate campaign. This is an
important step, we still have a long way to go, but we won't rest until
football is a game where everyone feels welcome.'

stadium or online, directly to us in the following ways:
