Alright so I haven't read the pages of comments before me but I have a few problems with OPs post, OP, you're overreacting.
Firstly OP is assuming the guy in the cover is gay. Honestly, when I saw this picture all I thought was "wow what an interesting character, I wonder what the story is behind it, I wonder what the story is behind that character". I never thought about the sexuality of that person, ie, I never even thought about "is he gay?".
But OP did. I think this is your problem OP (no offense), but you applied a homophobic stereotype of gay people (blonde hair, pink suit), to accuse Ubisoft of being stereotypical of gay people. The logic just isn't there.
Now what if the character is gay, so what? Why is this a bad thing? Ubisoft created a character, and coincidentally (assuming he is), the character happens to be gay. Whoever is going to think differently of gay people after playing this game with a (potentially) gay antagonist, shouldn't be playing in the first place because they are probably 10 years old. We all have values and beliefs, including those regarding the gay community. Those values and beliefs aren't going to suddenly change after playing a fictional video game based on a fictional setting.
Long story short, you're reading too much into it OP
