Taking some time away from her successful Mrs. Carter World Tour, Beyoncé Knowles soaked up the spotlight by covering Flaunt magazine's Summer 2013 issue.

While rocking body glitter for the gorgeous Tony Duran-shot spread, the "Single Ladies" hitmaker dished about her gay men fan base along with the struggles that come with her hectic career schedule.

Check out a few highlights from Miss Knowles' interview below. For more, be sure to visit Flaunt!

On being considered a "Gay Icon":
"I'm flattered if I'm in the company of those great women. I think they love that we are bold, unafraid to love, and flaunt our sexuality and strength."

On her dedicated fans donating to her charities:
"They are engaged in making a difference. We have collected tons of donations that will go towards creating jobs and helping people get jobs. That's something I want to celebrate. For Chime for Change we raised awareness and over $4 million in one day for equal rights for girls everywhere. So many people at that concert were young. They are more socially responsible than they get credit for."

On working with Pepsi and Fighting against childhood obesity:
"Pepsi is a brand I've grown up seeing my heroes collaborate with. The company respects musicians and artistry. I wouldn't encourage any person, especially a child, to live life without balance. When you work out, take care of your body, rehearse as hard as I rehearsed in the commercial, I think it's great to have a Pepsi or Diet Pepsi when you want one. It's all about choices."
