It wasn't polite but Alec couldn't stop himself from rolling his eyes and letting out a sound of disbelief. "You didn't lose both just because you had sex with a guy." Glancing over at the mundane, Alec wondered if he was struggling with the same kind of problems Alec had before finally coming out of the closet. "I didn't have to discover the secret. The guy I liked flirted with me first."

No, he couldn't think about Magnus or he'd start getting depressed again. He couldn't give in to that the way he almost had when he'd thought he was going to lose Magnus. He'd promised his boyfriend he wouldn't give in to those types of thoughts if they were ever separated again. "My kin believed that if you were gay, there was something wrong with you. You weren't an equal but they were wrong. Just like saying you lost what made you a good person because you had sex with someone. You're willing to trust me when I did the same thing and you don't even know if I was a good person to begin with"

Which probably wasn't a good way to convince someone to let him help them find their house but Alec never had been good at being tactful.
