My Lgbt Plus first debuted as a Facebook group called LGBT Groups of Central Valley in late 2010. Through the use of the social media website Facebook, LGBT Groups of Central Valley grew to over 300 members within 72 hours of creation highlighting the importance of having an online support system for youth. This new safe and supportive environment allowed members of the LGBT+ community to share stories, post events and receive and give support and advice.

In June 2011, My Lgbt Plus was an invigorating new idea to branch out from LGBT Groups of Central Valley to provide more access to Central Valley resources. Dedicated to providing an online safe zone 24 hours, 7 days a week, the My Lgbt Plus website was unveiled on November 19, 2011 at the First Congregational Church (Big Red Church), home of the annual Expression Not Suppression Youth Conference. Since the unveil, My Lgbt Plus has been featured in the Gay Straight Alliance Newsletter, San Diego Gay & Lesbian News, Queer Fresno and Queer Visalia, as well as hosting a viewership across the United States and expanding to North America, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia.
