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.
No, you are right. A sidekick is the lesser in a hero-sidekick relationship, hence "side". Just like a sallad can be the sideorder for the main dish, actually.
