Log Cabin Republicans Executive Director Jerri Ann Henry Resigns Over Trump Endorsement<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Jerri Ann Henry, the executive director of gay<\/a> conservative group Log Cabin Republicans, has resigned over the group\u2019s endorsement of Donald Trump for reelection.<\/p>\n

ICYMI<\/strong>: Delusional Log Cabin Republicans Spokesman Says LGBT Community is Better Off Under Trump Than It Was Four Years Ago: WATCH<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

The Washington Blade<\/em> reports<\/a>: \u2018Henry, who was\u00a0the first woman<\/a> to lead the LGBT Republican group, formally submitted her resignation Friday and left Monday after discussions with board members characterized as \u201charsh,\u201d sources familiar with Log Cabin told the Blade. The resignation follows intense criticism of Log Cabin, which announced its support for Trump earlier this month without its members having met with him or having received any explicit commitments in exchange. Sources said Henry\u2019s discontent with Trump and dissatisfaction with Log Cabin\u2019s approach to defending its Trump endorsement in the media were key among her reasons for stepping down.\u2019<\/p>\n

Henry\u2019s resignation follows that of board member Jennifer Horn.<\/p>\n

The <\/a>Blade<\/a><\/em> notes that several others have also resigned or repudiated the organization<\/a>: \u201cCasey Pick, who once worked as programs director for Log Cabin, has repudiated the organization in a Facebook post. Additionally, Robert Turner II, who once led Log Cabin\u2019s D.C. chapter,\u00a0announced he\u2019d leave<\/a>\u00a0Log Cabin in a Facebook message. A less public resignation not previously reported, sources said, was board member Rachel Hoff, who gained notoriety during the 2016 Republican National Convention for arguing\u00a0for LGBT inclusion in the Republican Party during the platform drafting process<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Delusional Log Cabin spokesman Charles Moran defended the group\u2019s endorsement in an interview with FOX News over the weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Said Moran: \u201cLike so many disaffected Republicans who have not been comfortable with President Trump and with his record, I look at the question of, \u2018Is America better off now than it was four years ago and is the LGBT community better off now than it was four years ago?\u2019 And under President Trump, the answer is inarguably, yes. President Trump is the first person elected president of the United States who supported gay<\/a> marriage and also has a background supporting equality issues both as a businessman and as a philanthropist. But now also as a president of the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always try to follow the rule of trust but verify,\u201d added Moran. \u201cAnd looking at President Trump\u2019s appointments, appointing people in our organization, taking meetings with our organization, and just really advancing the big causes that are important to the LGBTQ community.\u201d<\/p>\n
