regardless of the situation. If they are in a same-sex relationship and in a situation of intolerance, they will conceal this fact, but they won't suddenly switch to the other team just because of the environment.
A lot of biphobia is due to a belief that we will-- there are always issues of who to come out to, for what reason, but certainly the easier it is to pass the more tempting it can become.
