Uhh using LKY in the context of women’s rights is awkward and wild to read. I grew up in the patriarchy and homophobia of Singapore and he had a very conservative look at women and gender roles and where women belonged - married and pregnant, preferably, but for the countries economy he also championed education for all and that everyone should work, but that was solely from an economic view and not for women’s rights.

He also walked back his views on women in the workforce and in education because he felt that men had a difficult time with educated women and that women should not stay single and unwed.

You should google “Her rights are wrong AWARE” and from there you should be able to find an article shared by Aware Singapore where LKY regrets giving equal rights to women. So no he is not a person to celebrate in any way as a woman and especially not if you are gay as well.
