I admit English is not my first language, but in every context I have ever heard or read the term "sidekick" used, it always referred to the inferior of the team, the hero/protagonist/main-char/villain's friend/helper/follower/lackey. The lesbians referring to themselves as each other's sidekicks might be some kind of joke or a jab at the male obsession with hierarchy, just a wild guess here.
