    There are plenty of right-wing governments that are staunchly anti-queer, and the reason would be that queer would fall under non-traditional (queer is literally synonymous with odd, weird, etc.)

    Right-wing has several definitions, but using “individualism” would be incorrect for most of them. Right-wing would include heirarchical, traditional, militaristic, and/or authoritarian values. The only individuals that are respected in the political right are those at the top of heirarchies (e.g. authority figures like the military and police). What you espouse as individualism would likely be (little L) libertarianism, which is a classically left-wing philosophy.

    I think you might be confused about your political left, as well.
