You need to edit your key so that the UID that you use is the primary
UID. GnuPG may simply be using whichever UID was created first.
Use:
$ gpg --edit-key 70096AD1
> uid 3
> primary
> save
$ gpg --send-key 70096AD1
From man gpg
primary
Flag the current user id as the primary one, removes the
primary user id flag from all other user ids and sets the
timestamp of all affected self-signatures one second
ahead. Note that setting a photo user ID as primary makes
it primary over other photo user IDs, and setting a regu‐
lar user ID as primary makes it primary over other regu‐
lar user IDs.
To see the effect, do:
$ gpg --recv-key 28bcb3e3
$ gpg --list-key 28bcb3e3
My debian.org UID is at the top of the list when it was actually created
after all the others because the key is (naturally) older than my DD status.
Listing your key shows the rejected UID at the top of the list.

Not really. The primary UID determines that and gpg currently has that
set to the creativecommons UID.
