I can believe in all of that and still support gay rights, strict gun control and your right to wear a dress or stockings.

Some questions:
What does "preserve Anglo culture" mean to you? To me, that smacks of white nationalism, so I'd ask you to explain it.
What government interventions are you unhappy about exactly? The government typically exists to keep us safe. So "intervention" regulations for you know... clean water and driver's licenses? Those feel important.
Funny to bring up healthcare when you live in the only western democracy without single payer universal coverage. The right wing conservative doesn't support that.
Same deal with education. The right wing has dismantled the department of education.
I think both sides support roads. I suppose you could argue the left is in favor of mass transit and bike lanes.
The housing market is driven by supply and demand, as a direct result of capitalism. If immigrants are buying more housing and increasing prices, that's something the free market supports - we both know that only a commie wouldn't support the free market?
Immigrants put more into society than they take out. Tons of data on less
crime from immigrants,
more likely to own and run small businesses, and even how even i
llegals pay taxes without pulling benefits from the system.
Here's a recent
Rolling Stone article on their importance to the food system in the US.
Honestly - other than the (possible?) white nationalist thing, you don't sound very conservative to me.
