That's an opinion, not a presumption. While his opinion may have been a judgement, it is nonetheless an opinion. Everyone makes judgements. The way he stated his opinion was not to say that he thought Neji is gay because he "looks" gay. This is because gay was used as to say something was stupid/lame/crappy.
The way his words were stated could mean that he meant Neji looks like he is gay because of the way he looks. That would be a presumption based on the way he looks. However, it all depends on how Tyrael was using the word "gay" to describe Neji's appearance. In my opinion, the most accurate assumption would be to take it as stupid/lame/crappy/etc. rather than homosexual.
Now, besides this obvious point. He technically used the term "ghey" which is slang for "gay" but is almost exclusively used to describe things that are lame/stupid/crappy what have you.
Ghey:
1. (internet, slang, pejorative) An alternate spelling of gay meaning ineffectual, unsatisfying, unfulfilling, stupid, untalented, and so on. Equivalent to the slang meaning of lame.
Usage notes
The spelling is typically used to differentiate the meaning of "lame" from the homophonic meanings of "homosexual" or "happy," so as to retain the pejorative meaning, without the "happy or joyful" misinterpretation.
