It's not entirely original. Somebody else did for yogurt.
FTFA:
Theresa Eisenman, press officer at the U.S. Federal Drug Administration’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, told VICE that “vaginal secretions are not considered ‘food’, and they may transmit human disease, a food product that contains vaginal secretions or other bodily fluids is considered adulterated.”

But (being devils advocate) if you isolate a bacteria or yeast strain by culturing it on an agar plate from something, it is no longer a "secretion" or "crap that was in some dudes beard" or the critter that lives under Inklegs kilt or whatever else that "something" was to start with. It is simply a bacteria or yeast strain. And as such is incapable of transmitting a disease, unless of course you isolate a disease causing bacteria. But you can't ferment with one of those and/or one of those would be destroyed in the fermenting process, either way useless in the sense of making beer or yogurt or kimchee or whatever.
So it matters not where it came from if you do that. Really it does not.
Unless you tell someone of course. But that just means you are trying to influence their opinion.
My impression when I briefly looked at the linked beer site was that they isolated some lacto from said secretions, not that they are using the secretion as a whole.
But I might be wrong, and I don't want to go back and look.

Maybe we really should consider contributing to this thing. They say it's a good idea to put your money where your mouth is.
