That still might not convince gay marriage's opponents, since they'll cling to their own propaganda, but it does discredit them such that they may eventually relent, and in a public setting, it reduces the risk that they get any fence-sitters on board with them.
Your second example here is literally still propaganda, though. You seem to be under some sort of misunderstanding that propaganda inherently involves lying or manipulation, when it can just be recitation of facts with necessary context, and it can allow acknowledging counterarguments.

If your words are meant to effectuate a change in opinion or policy, it is still propaganda. Contextualized propaganda is still propaganda. The deliberate recitation of entirely true facts at opportune times to change people's minds is still propaganda. Not all propaganda is ends-justify-the-means cult of personality shit or conspiracy shit, nor does it need to be. Propaganda is constant in our lives; you engage in it daily on PotD.
