Gay couple burned with hot water by mother's boyfriend(Graphic)

 Tolbert, 21, and his boyfriend Anthony Gooden Jr., 23, were jolted out of sleep by the feeling of boiling water splashing across their torsos, faces and limbs. Gooden’s mother’s boyfriend, Martin Blackwell, stood over them, pouring the water.

 Blackwell allegedly yanked him off the mattress and yelled, “Get out of my house with all that gay,” Tolbert recalled to WSBTV.

“We were just burning,” My body was just stinging. It was like a really, really severe kind of stinging. I could hardly think straight.”

Tolbert spent 10 days in the hospital undergoing surgery to repair the skin on his back. Gooden was hospitalized for five weeks,According to an incident report from the College Park Police Department, Blackwell told police that he was angry at the sight of the two men together....

“They were stuck together like two hot dogs … so I poured a little hot water on them and help them out,”   They’ll be alright. It was just a little hot water.”

Blackwell claimed the two men were having sex when he poured water on them. Vickie Gray, a friend of Tolbert’s, said that’s not true; they were asleep after a long day of work — not that the alleged attack would have been justified in any case, she noted.
Though the incident happened more than a month ago, the couple only decided to go public with their story this week, after Gooden was released from the hospital.
