The graviton is the name of the mythical particle that mediates the gravitational force. There is no such thing as an anti-boson in physics (as far as I am aware); for example, an anti-photon is the same as a photon, and thus I would imagine an anti-graviton would be the same as a graviton. Thus you have equated the photon and graviton, and hence equated the electromagnetic and gravitational forces: something that is not true!

Is that a good enough "why you can't be right"?
