Well, it is what we believe, but that doesn't mean it can't be objectively true.
I think I addressed this earlier on in the post - I also believe my husband loves me. I could be either right or wrong about that.
Subjectivity doesn't speak to the truth or falseness of a claim. It speaks to the basis of the claim, the epistemology of it.
Of course a subjective claim can be true. That doesn't mean it is any less subjective. In my subjective morality, murder is always wrong. That happens to coincide with your allegedly objective view. So clearly, you would agree that this subjective claim of mine is true, even though you might think I am right for the wrong reasons.
You seem to have this idea in your head that "subjective" automatically means "false". They aren't synonymous.
