According to the Real Academia Española, mayate is derogatory word for gay man, in México, while no reference to it as a derogatory word for a person of African descent is mentioned.

Mayate definitely is a derogatory term used to demean Africans & African Americans. A Mayate is a black dung beetle & it's name has become an insult towards Black people
To qoute from shawe.com
"Of particular interest in this case is the fact that the racial slurs were made in a foreign language. The Black employee, although he only had limited knowledge of Spanish, was aware of how derogatory the term “mayate” was. But even if he had not been, the other Spanish-speaking employees in the workplace clearly were. To the extent that an employer is aware that inappropriate language is being used in the workplace – even in another language – it is important to take prompt action to stop it."
Yes it was once used to demean gay males. There is also a bright & flashy green Mayate bug so that's probably how it also became a derogatory term for homosexuals
There is nothing I project that is gay & below is how the term was used in reference to me today. Clerk didn't know I understood a little bit of Spanish
Its crazy to see so many Mexican people deny its a term used primarily to demean Blacks now. I'm like wtf😂ain't no body stupid.
