No, it certainly isn't. It left a very bad taste in my mouth :-(
Unfortunately the way the debate was reported in the news (I haven't read any of the commentary myself), it seemed there were a lot of people attacking the ad for homophobia, not for gender policing, which speaks of gender stereotypes and gay stereotypes in itself: if you're a man with feminine qualities you must be gay, and if you're gay you must have feminine qualities.
But I don't know how far we can trust the news media to accurately summarize and report the nuanced points made by the commenters.

Do you follow the Danish news that closely?
