Gay couple suffers severe burns after mum's boyfriend throws boiling water on them in bed

Gay couple Marquez Tolbet and Anthony Gooden

A gay couple in Georgia suffered horrendous burns after a violent homophobe allegedly threw boiling water on them in bed. Marquez Tolbert, was sleeping over the apartment of Anthony Gooden, both 21, when Martin Blackwell, the boyfriend of Gooden's mother,  scalded them awake two days before Valentine’s Day.
“Get out of my house with all that gay,” Blackwell allegedly said.
Tolbert told WSB-TV that he is still in pain from second- and third-degree burns that required skin to be moved from his thigh to his back over 10 days in the hospital. Gooden just got out of the hospital last week, and a GoFundMe page set up to pay for medical expenses said that at one point had been induced into a coma. The page says that they were forced out of the apartment by Blackwell, and went door to door before eventually finding someone who would help them. The couple says that there was no fight before the attack and that they “had no idea of the hatred he held in his heart.”

Fulton County jail records show that Blackwell remains in jail and faces two charges of aggravated battery. Blackwell reportedly said of his victims, "They'll be alright, it was just a little hot water on them."
