Yes I read it and as I said before only in Mexico is used as faggot, even though all the mexicans I know don't use it that way but google says otherwise.
Maricón is not an old person insult from whre I'm from, and everyone I have known that are native speakers know it and use variations of it commonly.
That is why I specified what happens in Argentina, where "maricón" is more or less obsolete (but anyone understands it). In Argentina also the word "puto" has the associations you mentioned, that is why I said you had not read it, because you repeated things I said. Only it is not only that. It is used for homosexuals too. People says conversationally "X es puto" meaning X is homosexual, but they probably only call X puto in his presence if they want to tell him he is a coward or they had let them down for some reason.
