Henry is the second high-profile member to depart the organization since its endorsement of Trump earlier this month.

Log Cabin Republicans Chairman Robert Kabel and Vice Chairwoman Jill Homan announced the endorsement in a Washington Post opinion piece.

They credited Trump with removing LGBT rights as a wedge issue in the Republican Party, citing his administration's commitment to end the spread of HIV/AIDS as well as his push to get other countries to conform to modern human rights standards.

The sources told the Blade that Henry’s discontent with Trump and Log Cabin’s approach to defending its endorsement in the media were key among her reasons for stepping down.

Log Cabin Republicans did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill on Henry's reported resignation.
