As for the outing person, I'd suggest to her that she speak to the priest before doing anything. She may not understand the potential ramifications of her intended action. Should people in this church be outed for other offenses? Where do they draw the line?
As for the person doing the traveling shows, I'm not sure what her motivation is to take a gay man and publicly announce that he is her husband, other than money. That is intentional deceit and I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that. She put herself in that situation and may have to pay for the consequences. I don't think you need to beg to protect her.
There is no reason that I can think of that you need to out yourself. You are being paid for a service, not for your morality.
Great advice
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
