And objective truth means it is contingent upon reality - so it is possible for objective truths to be false.

Wrong. The third option is that the concept of truth or falsehood does not apply to the factor the truth is contingent upon.

Wrong, in many ways - depending upon the theory of truth one subscribes to.
