DENVER, Colo. (CBS4) -- A controversial case between baker Jack Phillips and the state of Colorado has headed back to court after Phillips says he won’t make a cake for a Coloradan undergoing a gender transition.

Philips also refused to bake a cake for a same-sex couple in 2012.

Phillips is now suing the Colorado Civil Rights Commission after it accused him of discrimination. Phillips maintains the state doesn’t respect his religious beliefs.

In June, the United States Supreme Court ruled the state was hostile toward Phillips’ religious beliefs. However, the court did not rule on whether business owners can use religion to refuse service.

On Monday, both sides were in court for a motion hearing.
