They call this guy, very young man, a "Liberal", yet, a short time before he lost his life, he protested against a "Drag Queen" and he, Gavin Wilson of Australia, allegedly also stood for "traditional values" (against same-sex marriage). This is an interesting story coming from "Down Under", a few articles to be posted. Liberal or Conservative, actually Conservative I'd say. Socially at least.
Family of Liberal National Club head Wilson Gavin who mobbed drag queens in library share their anger and grief
The family of a university student who took his own life after video was shared of him shouting at drag queens in a Brisbane library, has implored other young people involved in politics to seek better mentors.
University of Queensland student Wilson Gavin, 21, died earlier this week — a day after footage emerged of him and other members of the UQ Liberal National Club (UQLNC) taking part in a rowdy protest at an event involving drag queens reading stories to children.
The UQLNC was disendorsed by the party late last year.

Is the chant from the library, "Drag Queens are not for Kids"...

The organization he was in was called "Liberal National Club" but whether, that meant 'liberal' the way many of us see the term as used, I don't know.
The Daily Mail even calls him a "young conservative":
The parents of a young conservative who took his own life after protesting at a drag queen library event have paid tribute to their 'devoted son'.
University of Queensland Liberal National Club president Wilson Gavin, 21, was found dead at 7.07am at Chelmer train station in Brisbane's south on Monday.
