From 1985 through 2009 this pageant was known as Mr. 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 Mr. USA Unlimited. All of the previous Mr. Gay USA winners are recognized within the system. The system briefly dissolved in 2017 but was revived again in 2020.
