"Gay paper." Queer-community-insider term for the paper produced created when a member of the queer community (aka a gay person) takes advantage of the open-ended nature of academic assignments and writes a paper about - guess what - something gay. This can be a paper examining a character's homosexual inclinations, the author's secret gay agenda, or the fluid nature of sexuality and gender as given in the novel.
"We can write this Humanities Colloquium essay on whatever we want?! Sappho x Odyssey Gayper, here I come."
