UPDATE: LJ has reportedly signed with the Bengals.
Homophobic slur-hurling running back Larry Johnson is expected to sign with the Cincinnati Bengals any minute now -- but a local gay rights group is already considering the move a "slap in the face."
TMZ spoke with Lesley Jones, executive director of Equality Cincinnati, who tells us "We do not think that would be a favorable decision on the part of the Bengals.
We would see this as a slap in the face to all the work we've done for equality and LBGT (lesbian, bisexual, gay, transgender) rights in Cincinnati."
[The Bengals] must take action to prove that they support equality and LBGT rights in the city."
Johnson was recently cut by the Kansas City Chiefs after making a flurry of controversial statements -- including dropping the f-bomb twice in a 24 hour period.

The Kansas City Chiefs have officially kicked Larry Johnson to the curb -- cutting the running back from the NFL team in the wake of his gay slur scandal.
Johnson was just 75 yards away from becoming the team's all-time leading rusher when he was suspended last month, and now it seems he'll remain number two.
The move to chop Johnson gives Chiefs fans one thing to cheer about this season -- in the last few days, tons of KC fans signed a petition to get rid of the running back.
Johnson had used the homophobic f-word in verbal attacks twice in two days -- he also publicly ripped the team's coach.
He also sucks now ... so the team should be better off without him anyway.

Wearing his nonchalantly contrived top cap to the side, a Kurt Cobain plaid button down, Mr. T necklace, blinged out pink Swatch, Abu Ghraib business casual fatigues and a pair of Kanye West ruby red kicks, Kansas City Chiefs' running back Larry Johnson was sidelined by the fashion police at PURE in Vegas this weekend.
It takes $45 million to look like this.
