If we’re using a linear spectrum of left to right, how far left am I? I would consider myself on the left end of politics and was thinking of joining the Green Party in the U.S.
Here are some of the things I believe in:
Homeless people should get free housing. If I were in charge, they would live in shelters or big buildings like hotels.
Rights for all!
We should make countries better for all and not just go along with whatever the politician says, specifically where I live in the United States. Real patriotism is trying to make a better, for example, United States for everyone and not just going along with whatever our President says and defending his corrupt ideas.
Climate change is a real issue that needs to be taken care of.
LGBTQ+ people deserve representation completely and everyone should be free of discrimination.
Immigration is what shapes the United States (I use a lot of American examples because that’s where I live, sorry!) and they should not be tortured, deported, discriminated against, anything. It should be a free country and the borders should be less strict.
Weapons should be banned and crime should somehow become a very rare thing to deal with.
You are possibly not left at all, for every single one of the issues you list in your post is also promoted by established right-wing parties.
Danish right-wing populist party Dansk Folkeparti explicitly support that:

Most political parties of all kinds agree on this, they just don’t agree on what it actually means.
Swedish right-wing populist party Sverigedemokraterna explicitly support that:

German right-wing populist party Alternative für Deutschland is led by a lesbian who calls her party “the only real protective force for gays and lesbians in Germany”:

That’s a bit too US-specific for any other parties to have positions on your statement exactly, but in general most parties of all kinds in democratic countries are explicitly against torture and discrimination, including those who want strictly regulated immigration. Very few parties anywhere want no immigration at all, most just want it more strictly regulated.
Weapons as in the US is exceedingly rare outside of the US, and pretty much every right-wing party ever is strongly against crime.
So, just based on these issues, maybe you aren’t actually left at all.
I think what you are showing is that far right parties often incorporate one or two left-wing policies in order to gain popularity. Cherry-picking those and putting them together does not create a realistic profile of right wing opinions.
I think a much simpler explanation is that none of those issues are inherently right-wing or left-wing, which is what I wanted to demonstrate with my examples.
