Is Beyoncé secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

Beyoncé is celebrating her 45th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed singers of her generation.

Popular singer-actress-dancer Beyoncé (Cowboy Carter, Crazy in Love, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 45th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Beyoncé, a cultural icon

Born Beyoncé Knowles in Houston on September 4, 1981, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Beyoncé's not just a great singer, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little Beyoncé hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Beyoncé as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 45.

Happy Birthday, Beyoncé, you're the best!
