I'm feeling unexpectedly emotional about this even though marriage (same- or opposite-sex) is something that is extremely unlikely to ever be of personal consideration.

Exactly so. While it is of not much personal significance all I have to think about are the countless people who have wanted to get married to the person they love but haven't been able to, but now they can, and I'm reaching for the tissues.

Isn't empathy wonderful? ;)

Sometimes. Sometimes it's just ridiculous. Like just now when it was pointed out that the characters in an original novel I've been co-writing could get married and I legitimately teared up. Oh self.
