Log Cabin Leader Quits
Trump endoresement spurs wide defections
The executive director of the Log Cabin Republicans, Jerri Ann Henry, resigned after the group opted to
endorse Donald Trump.
BY MATT TRACY
The executive director of
the Log Cabin Republicans
became the latest
member of the group to
step down following the organization’s
controversial decision to endorse
Donald Trump in his 2020
re-election campaign.
Jerri Ann Henry, who ascended
to the top of the LGBTQ GOP
group’s leadership team in November
of last year, tendered her resignation
on August 26, Log Cabin
spokesperson Charles T. Moran
told Gay City News in a written
statement.
“The fi nal date of her employment
is undetermined at this time,”
Moran said. “The board’s executive
committee will proceed with an orderly
transition to ensure nothing
falls through the cracks. We thank
her for her service to our organization
and wish her well in the next
chapter of her career.”
Henry follows behind board
member Jennifer Horn and former
Log Cabin DC Chapter leader Robert
Turner, who both also ditched
the group after the endorsement
and offered scathing criticism on
their way out.
According to the Washington
Blade , which fi rst reported on Henry’s
resignation, she opted to step
down after engaging in “harsh”
LOG CABIN REPUBLICANS
discussions with board members.
It is not clear exactly what was discussed
— Log Cabin Republicans
did not answer Gay City News’
questions about the circumstances
surrounding Henry’s departure
— but her resignation nonetheless
raised questions about the power
dynamics between some board
members and an executive director
who was notably the fi rst woman
to lead the group.
In a Facebook post announcing
his resignation, Turner hinted at
friction between board members
and Henry, saying that she could
not “seem to get anything accomplished
because of a board of directors
who won’t get out of her way.”
The endorsement and subsequent
resignations have generated
widespread attention on the group,
which has been widely blasted by
LGBTQ folks and others for backing
a president who has chipped
away at LGBTQ rights since taking
offi ce. Log Cabin did not endorse
Trump during his 2016 campaign.
The August 15 Washington Post
op-ed announcing the endorsement,
written by Log Cabin’s chair
Robert Kabel and vice chair Jill
Homan, was riddled with headscratching
statements about
Trump’s record in the LGBTQ
community: Kabel and Homan
