Liberalism is defined as a capitalist democratic system. Conservatism is defined as the current most dominant and prevalent political system. Right now, Conservatism and Liberalism are only different on the issue of Queer people.
I'd go a step further and say that in modern parlance "conservative" is more just a euphemism for "the literal worst and most reactionary liberals" than anything. Sometimes it's a euphemism for "open fascist", but even a lot of them are still within the generously broad extreme right wing fringe of liberalism, which has happily employed fascists time and again to serve its ends.

There's also abortion and a few other issues, but of course you're right that they mostly agree.
The gay queerstion
There are conservative liberals and progressive liberals. They both support the capitalist democratic system but differ on social issues.
That was my point.
