"GoMix" would be read as "gomik-s" in Russian.

"Gomik" means literally "faggot", the plural is "gomiki".

The suffix "-s" was being used in pre-revolutionary Russia as a way to make your speech sound more polite. Etymologically, "-s" is short for "sir". Nowadays, "-s" is used (very rarely) to imitate speech of somebody from those times, mostly for its humorous effect.

Given the above, "GoMix" sounds very ridiculous in Russian, something like "faggot, sir".

'homos' is the pretty much the direct translation.
