It is somewhat Accurate- The words of Brigham young are taken out of context though. Also many people of the LDS faith do believe that Jesus was married, That is not official church doctrines. Just the beliefs of many members, based on other teachings. I will reiterate that The church has no official doctrine stating whether or not Jesus was Married. There are other inaccuracies as well.
If you would like some accurate information I would suggest that you go to-
http://www.Mormon.Org
That is an official site set up by the LDS church for people who want to learn more about our beliefs- that will tell you what we actually believe. There will also be contact information for you if you would like to discuss the church further with members.
Some will tell you to visit www.LDS.org- that is the churches official website- you can visit there too, but just know that it is set up more for people who are already members. You will get pretty much the same information there, but it is more geared to those who are members. Mormon.org is your best resource.
Good luck in your research.

Well I have been LDS my whole life, and that info is not all accurate. We do not teach that Jesus had a wife and children. We dont know if he did, no where is it mentioned in the Bible, but dont think it would matter either way. I have never been taught that God had relations with Mary, I've always been told that Mary was a virgin when Jesus was born. Just because certain figures in our church may have said something in the past doesn't mean that everyone of us believes it.
Also, if you want to know what our church believes then ask a member, or go to an official church site, such as www.LDS.org. If I wanted to learn about Black History, I wouldn't go to the KKK to ask. My point beng that some people have agendas and will distort facts in order to further it.

There are truths in it, but it's mixed with half-truths, or very twisted things. If you really want to know, then go to the churches website. Someone else listed it, but I'll list it again for you. There is another site also that can answer some of your questions. It's a really good site, and I have learned a lot from just reading it.
I could go point by point about what is wrong, and what it right, but it would be way too long.

Some information is close to right, but a lot of distortions and exaggerations, etc.

Some of it's close, but a lot of it is twisted and taken out of context. Some of it's truth some of it's lies... but all of it's twisted and very biased.
