[IMC-Boston-Editorial] Two for discussion before centering

[Sofia JarrinT]

I'll have to agree with Jon and Matthew. The main
point of the article is that there was a huge victory
for transexual/transgender people and particularly
because it is at a place like Raytheon, it is
important. The article makes a point of how difficult
the fight was and that's important.

There is also the issue that we do not get a lot of
articles about sexual diversity, so it would a shame
not to center this one.
