Jamaica's attorney general has sparked criticism after saying it was "disrespectful" to Jamaican law for the US embassy to fly a rainbow flag following the Orlando shooting.
In response, the US embassy in the capital Kingston asked Marlene Malahoo Forte to explain her legal reasoning.
Forty-nine people died when a gunman opened fire in a gay club in Florida.
Jamaica has laws criminalising gay sex and rights groups have warned LGBT face frequent discrimination.
The embassy in Kingston joined other US missions around the world in flying the rainbow flag in solidarity with the victims of the attack, the worst mass shooting in recent US history.
The flag symbolises the diversity of the LGBT movement.
Orlando shooting: Special report
'This is her country'
In a post that now appears to have been deleted, Ms Malahoo Forte said: "I strongly condemn #OrlandoNightClubShooting but find it disrespectful of Jamaica's laws to have #RainbowFlag flown here. #MyPersonalView."
The US embassy replied: "We're listening. Explain the legal reasoning? It was an attack of terror !!and!! hate, targeting the LGBT community".
She faced a backlash on social media where she was accused of ignorance and bigotry.
Others though defended her right to speak out. "This is her country, not America," said one comment on Facebook.
A letter to the Jamaica Observer warned the attorney general was painting the country in a bad light while saying no one was asking Ms Malahoo Forte "to condone homosexuality".
Separately, Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness offered his condolences.
"The bullet of terrorism does not discriminate, it does not know gender, class or sexual orientation. We all grieve the 49 lives lost," he tweeted.

Not true, I saw a video like 3-4 years ago and tyga knew all Kartel songs that came on in the club and he was biggin him up.
My brother told me he'd see him all the time at Norman Manley
Yeah, I get that dawg.
But what I mean is, to my knowledge, tyga has never promoted Vybz Kartel or dancehall on a world stage (at his shows, interviews, etc); But he is now bringing the culture to a world stage, so he can profit from it....... He couldn't even have a dancehall artiste feature on his song.
With that said, I still have to big up tyga. Cause he had the common decency to shoot his music video in Jamaica, and promote jamaican people. (Even though he had to get the lightest bytch he could find to star the video
)
