Light follows the straightest possible path in spacetime. Straighter even than the fastest material particle. Gravity does not affect light, gravity affects what the light travels through.
The local speed of light will be proportional to the "clock rate" of the space that light propagates through. The GPS satellites have a slightly faster "clock rate" that identical clocks on Earth. So clock rate goes up, as you climb out of a gravitational potential well.
The light will speed up as it climbs out. Always c locally, but faster than a surface dwellers light with each unit of height attained.
