If the GIF you want to upload is not a moving picture, it should work just fine. If you have a GIF image that is a nonmoving image, you should have no problem uploading it to Facebook. Otherwise....
There are at least two ways of doing it. You can always use a third party app on Facebook - you could try Animated Picture.
The second trick is Post a link to the GIF. Unfortunately, just the still image will show up, but you can describe it.
Interestingly enough, according to the Facebook Developers page, GIFs are one of many file types allowed for uploading to the platform.
