isn't retaliation unlawful whether or not you can prove the discrimination was unlawful

I was discriminated against because I was subjected to adverse actions which had a negative impact on my income and job security for reasons that were not performance related or justifiable by any other means . I found the situation untolerable and I believed these reasons were unlawful so I gave employer 15 day notice of my intent to quit if he wasn't willing to remedy situation. Now my question is- even if it is determined that the discrimination that I HAD A GOOD FAITH BELIEF was unlawful, in fact wasn't technically, because my employer had fewer than 15 employees, wouldn't I still be afforded the legal right to be free from retaliation for my complaining about the discrimination, whether or not that discrimination was unlawful? Wouldn't the act of terminating me due to my written complaint still be wrongful irregardless? And don't retaliation claims have no employee minimum?
