The mass-velocity relationship prevents photons from having any mass.
Therefore, they cannot be affected by gravity.

What you and the consensus believes is nonsense because the momentum
formula requires mass. Mass is a prerequisite. Massless particles would
have no momentum. You are very confused. You are arguing from authority
instead of reasoning. That is ad verecundium, a failure to reason.
Gravity does not couple with massless particles.

The massy contents define the geodesy, then, the
charged contents in the various electrical and
electromagnetic fields in electrodynamics sit on
that, light then being free, locally, quite all
about that, with for example the three different
definitions of what's "c" in electrodynamics,
and why optical light is special.
Then gravity can be seen as just a potential force
of course, and unites with strong nuclear force,
and unites in the "high-energy symmetry-breaking"
sense, instead the "point, local, global, total" sense.
Momentum isn't even a conserved quantity in kinematics,
what with regards to the interplay of "fictitious" the
forces, which are always a function of _time_. It's
simple and classical and linear, kinetics, yet, there's
a fuller kinematics, and, "Newton and Zeno's zero-eth laws".
