There's a name for this: Social Liberalism. It's not new; it arose in the late 1800's as a response to the poverty caused by Classical Liberalism (recently, "Libertarianism"), but without the extremes of Socialism. I identify as a Social Liberal.On most of the conflicts wrapped up with the sexual revolution and its aftermath, for example, I'm on the libertarian side of the argument
On economic issues, I have far less sympathy for libertarian arguments
