Yale-NUS College - the guardian of the liberal mind and the university with the newest co-ed dorms - continues its progressive streak.

This time, it's the name of the independent student support group for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.

Its name? The G Spot.

Today reported that it is part of a first-of-its kind independent support network for the LGBT community in local varsities, which will be launched officially at next month's Pink Dot on June 13, 2015.

The college's liberalism clearly shines through when student groups from other universities in the network were conservatively named tFreedom (Tembusu College, NUS), Gender Collective (University Scholars Programme, NUS), Kaleidoscope (NTU) and Out To Care (SMU).

According to The G Spot's Facebook page, this was how the group, which started in 2013, got the name:

"We are concerned with issues intersecting gender, gender identity, sexuality, sexual orientation, asexuality, race, class, and disability - hence the G "Spot", literally a point of intersection, and one deeply connected with the body."

It also has a cute email address: [email protected]

Recently, the college was in the news for its co-ed dorms, which prompted a Straits Times Forum reader to conclude that non-virgins lack control and faithfulness.

Professor Tan Tai Yong from Yale-NUS replied a day later and gave an insight to what the kind of education students can expect at the college:

"The offer of a rooming option should not be confused with the endorsement of specific lifestyles.

Providing our students with the opportunity to make choices for themselves is a component of the living and learning model we are building.

The college has a thriving culture of open discussion and debate, and respect for diversity.

Considerate sharing, learning and exchange of ideas are an important part of the education at Yale-NUS College."
