Why is this even news? If you understand praxeology, you understand that this is inevitable.
People should stop looking for political solutions to things. This is why movements like weed legalisation and gay rights piss me off so much... not because I disagree with their message, but because I hate the fact that they're such political movements.
Apolitcal, that's how you bring about real change. Fuck writing to Congress to get rid of the Federal Reserve or IRS, just switch to cryptocurrencies. Stop donating to the NRA... support the Wiki Weapon project, instead.
Want to shape the world of the future? Don't get some shitty internship at some beltway think tank, learn to program, and help bring cryptography and decentralisation to the masses.

That's very true, although I'd put marijuana legalization in a different category than the current "marriage equality" mania since (a) the states are currently undertaking legalization in defiance of the feds and (b) it's about not throwing people in jail rather than involving the government in your interpersonal relationships. But yeah, both movements are massive sinks for political energy that give the illusion that things are moving in a more "liberal" direction even as essential liberties are being curbstomped elsewhere.
