  Is J. K. Rowling secretly gay and hiding in the closet?

‘Harry Potter’ author J. K. Rowling is celebrating her 59th birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, she is one of the most acclaimed authors of her generation.

Popular author J. K. Rowling has always liked to keep a bit of herself hidden from view. At 59th birthday, she remains a woman of many facets.

Rowling, a cultural icon

Born Joanne Rowling in Yate on July 31, 1965, her career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in British history. Rowling's not just a great author, she's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business woman. At this point in her career, there seems to be little J. K. hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for J. K. Rowling as she promises more to come. After all, she's only 59.

Happy Birthday, J. K., you're the best!
