Did new Brazilian president Bolsonaro say he'd rather have a dead son than a gay one?
There has been a lot in the global news media recently about the new President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, and the highly controversial things he is alleged to have said in the past.
Some quotes are attributed to him in a 2018 New York Times article. For example:
In June 2011, he said he would “rather his son die in a car accident than be gay,”
However, in discussions about this on social media, I've seen several Brazilians claim that it's "fake news", that he isn't really homophobic or racist, and that these news articles are just a "globalist scam" to discredit him.
Portuguese isn't a language I speak, so I'm having trouble verifying the original sources and context of this quote.
Can anyone point to the original source of this quote?

The English Wikipedia page on Bolsonaro mentions: "[...] Bolsonaro said that "I would be incapable of loving a gay son", and added that he would prefer any gay son of his "to die in an accident". This was apparently said in an interview with Playboy Magazine in 2011, and is mentioned here as well (linked to Wikipedia).
The headline is "Bolsonaro: "prefiro filho morto em acidente a um homossexual". While I also do not spek Portuguese, in this case it's quite similar to Spanish, which I understand a little.
Prefiro filho morto em acidente is "I prefer (a) son that dies in an accident", a um homosexual is a comparative roughly translated as "over a homosexual (one)"
Terra is a news aggregation website like Yahoo!, MSN, and such (see here). Unfortunately, I'm on a work computer right now and would rather not Google for Playboy, even though this time it's really for the articles ;)
