1. It accepts the mass-velocity relationship, which prohibits anything

2. Therefore, according to relativity, gravity cannot affect photons.

You don't know the basics of the theory. Mass is not the only tyhing

Relativity either has to abandon the mass-velocity relationship or
abandon the claim that photons are affected by gravity. Until then, it

Unsolicited advice is worthless. Deplatforming is a defense tactic of
ideologues. That relativity is  an ideology has been demonstrated by
Peter Hayes in "The Ideology of Relativity: The Case of the Clock
Paradox."
What components couple with gravity that have no mass? Photons, Higgs
bosons, and what else? Particles without mass? I certainly don't accept
that nonsense.
That you think anything but mass couples to gravity disqualifies you.
