What is accepted changes over the time and very well may not be truth at any point.
You're equivocating. If what is moral is defined by accepted standards, then the class of true moral propositions ("truth") is defined by those accepted standards. You're trying to appeal to a different definition of moral truth, an objective one, after having adopted this first definition. That's an error. Either what is morally true is what accords with accepted standards, or it is not; you can't have it both ways.
Do you advocate the holocaust? That was accepted standard in Germany for a while. If you don't, then it does not follow that the truth is a subset of accepted standards.
