If you think 2016 was a pretty good year, you're probably lacking in empathy. This was the year that brought the deaths of countless celebrities (including LGBT icons), the election of Donald Trump, the Pulse shooting, and other tragedies.

The LGBT community was one that was particularly affected by all the terrible news this year, and as usual, queer comedians are using humor to cope with hardship. Here are the funniest tweets from LGBT people as they say goodbye to the worst year in recent memory.

Sing with me: empty chairs at empty taaaaables now my friends are deeeeaaad and goooooone.

Of course, some people recognized that this is probably just the beginning of the end.

Gotta keep it PC.

Maybe we can all go out exactly like President Trump.
