The Higgs field provides some of the so called electroweak vector bosons, the W+,W- and the Z bosons, with their mass. The photon is, by definition, the one boson among this group that remains unaffected by the higgs field and therefore massless. Then there are the gluons which don't get affected by the higgs field at all because the higgs field does not parttake in the strong interaction of Chromodynamics which is mediated by the gluons. So outside the Higgs boson, that leaves us with the W and Z bosons who.get a mass from the Higgs field and he Photon and Gluons who don't.

Are they Super Gluons or Elmer's Gluons? HA I MADE A FUNNY!
