Have I Put my PC Foot in It?
Discussion
Having a chat at a colleagues desk just now, we were discussing revising War Walks (a tv prog presented by Prof Richard Holmes) and how we could revitalise it for a younger audience. Another colleague said we were being stupid (fair point) at which point I mentioned getting in some celeb presenters, the first name popping into my head being Ricky Martin.
No problems you'd think, except this person is openly 'out'. The first thing she said was "what do you mean?" She dropped it and I eventually went back to work.
Now, I think she might have taken offence (even though it was completely unintended). My options:
1. Have a chat face to face and explain his name was the first that popped into my head and there was nothing personal meant.
2. Do the above but on e mail.
3. Ignore it and pretend it never happened.
Thoughts? Am I overreacting?
ps. No I will not post photos of aforementioned colleague.

Who's Ricky Martin?
A guy who's been hiding in a closet for 10 odd years 
So let me get this right. In the Film 2010 thread you are ranting to all and sundry that there is no way that Winkelman should have been given the job as she is - and I quote
Then in this thread - in the Original post you suggest that the person who should revitalise war walks for the young is Ricky Martin.

she is an classic rent-a-presenter popping up on whatever show/chatshow/quiz show will pay her a fee. I've nothing against her personally other than she represents the archetypal vapid, insincere, talentless mong that populate tv screens for no other reason that they dont fall to pieces in front a tv camera - you could put dozens of names on that list.
This is despite her having a history of Arts degree from CambridgeThen in this thread - in the Original post you suggest that the person who should revitalise war walks for the young is Ricky Martin.
