From 2007 through 2009 this pageant was known as Miss Gay USA. The system, originally started by Jerry Bird, was sold to Jeff Reeves aka Nancy Newton and later in 2010 it became known as Miss USA Unlimited. All of the previous Miss Gay USA winners are recognized within the system. The system briefly dissolved in 2017 but was revived again in 2020.
