There were a lot of exhausting aspects of 2017. Turns out, being gay is one of those aspects, as explained in this viral tweet.
London writer Louis Staples expressed his feelings about being exhausted in the tweet.
Being gay is exhausting!! You have to have an encyclopedic knowledge of every quote, scene + facial expression from every single female celebrity, pop-culture icon + fictional character over the last 20 years AND know exactly what to type to find them in GIF form! I'm so TIRED.

People re-tweeted the tongue-in-cheek sentiment over 2,500 times and liked it over 10,000 times.
Twitter, being Twitter, responded in the best way.
‘You must be new’
Mostly by sending gifs of female celebrities, pop culture icons, and fictional characters. Naturally.
