While the joke is indisputably funny, it’s important to remind everyone that it’s still a harmful stereotype. Bi/pan erasure is a genuine problem. You don’t stop being bi/pan simply because you enter a monogamous relationship.
More seriously, I think erasure is only part of it. Lots of LGBTQ folks deliberately remain in the closet for the sake of family relationships, careers, and local politics.
If you’re bi, it’s just easier.
But that heterosexual camouflage does get confusing to process when you “come out”. Especially with the reactionary attitude that heterosexuality is a choice.
You are only bisexual if you are engaged in sex with two people of the opposite sex simultaneously.
Otherwise, you’re just Schrodinger’s Gay.

“Ohh yeah baby, collapse my wave function…”
i like being observed, interact with me to measure my state please
Position? But I wanted to measure velocity tonight!
two people of opposite sex*, otherwise it’s just a straight threesome

But you cease to be bi afterwards, you were just experimenting.
So there’s a Schrodinger’s Gay in every threesome
At least one.
